Content:
"Through extensive interviews with choral conductors, educators, singers, and professional leaders, this book documents the choral art's journey through the significant time of change during the COVID-19 pandemic and aids in its rebuilding as it emerges into a new era where COVID-19 is endemic. When the pandemic emerged in early 2020, the impact on choral music was immediate and devastating, as the act of gathering and singing together became a source of contagion and potential severe illness or death. This book addresses the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on choral music in all contexts, including community choruses, professional choirs, children and youth choirs, school choirs, and choral organizations, covering how the community responded to the challenges and banded together to innovate and use technology in new ways to generate new ideas and changes to practice. The book also explores how the pandemic caused many directors to realize that they needed to act to create a more inclusive place of belonging in their rehearsals. Documenting both experiences and the lessons learned from surviving and thriving, this book showcases the resilience of choral music and helps point the way to new directions for the choral community in the wake of the pandemic. These reflections will help singers, voice teachers, music educators, and conductors consider their philosophy of singing and creating a choral community. This book would also benefit individuals in music history, music education, and music entrepreneurship classes"--
